Nominations for 2024-2025 Mills Athletic Boosters Board Positions
Dear Mills Athletic Boosters Community,
I hope this message finds you all well and enjoying a successful season for our student-athletes. As we begin to look ahead to the next school year, it's time to consider the future leadership of our Athletic Boosters volunteer organization. The contributions of our board members are crucial in supporting our athletic programs, ensuring our student-athletes have the resources and encouragement they need to excel.
We are officially opening nominations for the following board positions for the upcoming year:
President
Vice President
Treasurer
Secretary
Concessions Manager
Sponsorship Coordinator
Coach Liaison
Volunteer Coordinator
We encourage all members of our Mills community who are interested in making a positive impact on our school's athletic programs to consider nominating themselves or someone else for one of these vital roles. Leadership within the Boosters is a rewarding opportunity to support our student-athletes, coaches, and the broader school community.
Importantly, we want to highlight that board positions can be held as co-leads. This is a fantastic option for those who wish to contribute but are concerned about the time commitment. Sharing a role with another volunteer can not only lessen the load but also bring diverse perspectives and ideas to our organization.
Nominees should be passionate about advancing the mission of the Athletic Boosters, committed to supporting our student-athletes, and willing to collaborate with other board members, school staff, and the wider community. Whether you have previous experience in volunteer leadership or are looking to step up for the first time, we value the unique skills and enthusiasm each person can bring to the table.
If you are interested in nominating yourself or someone else, please email the following address (info@millshsathleticboosters.org) with the nominee's name, the position of interest, and a brief statement about why they would be a good fit for the role. The deadline for nominations is April 1.
Following the nomination period, we will share more information about the election process. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like more details about what each board position entails.
Thank you for considering stepping into a leadership role or nominating a fellow community member. Your involvement is what makes our Athletic Boosters organization so impactful. Together, we can continue to create a supportive and enriching environment for all our student-athletes.
Warm regards,
Heather Mezzetta
Mills Athletic Boosters, President

Athletic Boosters Spring Sport Participation Request
Dear Families of Spring Athletes,
Hello! I trust you're enjoying the excitement of the Spring Sports season as much as we are. Isn't it exciting to watch our young athletes in action?
This year, a bit of a hurdle has come our way - our school's athletic department is navigating through a budget slash of approximately 25%. Thus, your participation fee for our budding athletes has transformed from being supportive to utterly essential.
In light of continuing to harbor an environment where our athletes can grow and thrive, we are kindly suggesting a participation fee donation of $100 per athlete and our goal is 100% for spring athletes. We kindly ask your help in getting us to 100%, and we thank those that have contributed already.
Your generosity will cascade directly into resources, opportunities, and experiences we can provide our athletes and teams. From upgrading equipment to acquiring training tools and game analysis software, your contributions will indeed influence and enhance their athletic journey and experiences.
We, the Mills Athletic Boosters, are a lively mosaic of parents, coaches, teachers, and administrators, united by a common goal: recognizing and nurturing the indispensable life lessons that sports inject into our youth. It's not just about the skillful goals, strategic plays, or winning trophies; it's about instilling teamwork, discipline, leadership, and resilience in our kids. We champion their growth, not just as athletes, but as splendid individuals charting their path towards the future. Our mission extends beyond cheering on game day; it's about building an environment where our athletes can blossom, and for that, we're reaching out for your much needed support.
Here's why your support matters:
Boosting Athlete Morale: Every time our athletes step on the field, court, or track, knowing they have a whole community rooting for them makes all the difference.
Leveling Up Our Game: Every ounce of your contribution translates directly into equipping our teams with what they need to be competitive, ensuring they always stride onto the field confidently and prepared.
Proactive Safety Measures: As our athletes and teams grow, so do their needs. Be it equipment or gear, their safety is paramount.
Our student athletes are pushing their limits, and with your support, the sky's the limit. Let’s meld our energies, resources, and enthusiasm to ensure they continue to amaze us with their capabilities.
Every bit helps, and each contribution, irrespective of its size, makes an impact. Thank you for your support. Can't wait to see what we'll achieve together this season!
